In 2025, Edelweiss will celebrate its 30th anniversary by modernizing its fleet with the introduction of six ultra-modern Airbus A350-900 aircraft. This milestone marks a new era for the Swiss airline, combining innovation, comfort, and sustainability.

First Flight Scheduled for April 2025

The very first flight of Edelweiss’s Airbus A350-900 will connect Zurich to Tenerife on April 1, 2025. During the first three months, the aircraft will operate on short and medium-haul routes to allow crews to train and adapt to the new plane.
